Samtec recently reorganised its family of AcceleRate products into one webpage to enable easier browsing and comparison of products when trying to find the best high-performance solution for the given application. The AcceleRate product family includes board-to-board and cable assemblies featuring extreme density with up to 1000 total I/Os on a 0,635 mm pitch and 112 Gbps PAM4 performance.
First up in the reorganisation is AcceleRate HD high-density arrays with up to 400 Edge rate contacts in a slim, low-profile design. These contacts feature a 5 mm body width and stack heights from 5 to 16 mm. The open-pin-field design allows for maximum grounding and routing flexibility. AcceleRate HD supports 56 Gbps and is PCIe 5.0 capable.
The AcceleRate HP high-performance arrays operate to 112 Gbps PAM4 and are compatible with PCIe 5.0 as well as 100 GbE. The four-row design allows up to 400 total I/Os with a stack height from 5 to 10 mm.
Samtec’s AcceleRate direct attach cable assembly is only 7,6 mm wide and capable of 56 Gbps PAM4 speeds. Eight, 16 and 24 differential pair options are available in a high-density two-row design. Contacts directly attached to the cable eliminate the need and variability of a transition card and improves signal integrity.
AcceleRate HP cable assembly is rated at 112 Gbps PAM4 and is the highest density solution for cable-to-board applications. Available in 32 to 72 differential pairs on a 0,635 mm contact pitch, it is ideal for data centre applications.
What is an RF launch? Spectrum Concepts
Interconnection
As signal speeds increase, each part of the signal path getting to and from the device needs to work to higher frequencies, and strategies that worked in the past no longer suffice. A Samtec webinar will demystify this topic.
